  Very much doubt it, but interesting you say that as I have also moved which room it's in

  And changed to a new turbo.

  Knee pain on turbo trainer; why would that just start? Never had it before, never have it on outdoor rides, but the last couple of days I've got it after riding long/intense on turbo

  Served me very well through the first lockdown, now surplus to requirements. Fluid/mag system so has pretty good "road feel", and a variable resistance dial. I honestly never went past halfway on the resistance as my puny legs can't push past 800w, so there's plenty of room for mad turbo power gainz.

  The good; it's cheap, folds flat.
  The bad; it's a bit dirty, the resistance adjuster cracked where it enters the unit, so the cable slips if moved around. I always just left it on one number and never touched it, then it was fine. There's also a slight squeak noise when rocking the bike that I never found where it came from. 5mins, some patience and a can of WD40 would fix it, I'd imagine.

  Collection from SE9, yours for the paltry sum of SOLD.

  I use the semi-syncro (shifting the rear when you do the front) and it's been brilliant. I didn't get on with full synchro at all, tried it once and didn't like it

  Ah yes, I had Reynolds Assault SLG wheels on mine and they were fine too

  I have some of the older style Wheelsmith aero 38s, which are wide but not super wide. Can still only fit 23c Conti in back, or Veloflex 25c though
